Verdict
GeoCaches and Stonehiding both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Stonehiding's written reviews are positive against 37% of GeoCaches's. Stonehiding also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). GeoCaches's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1K vs 17). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
